The shape of the BMS BS might be easier to manipulate the rope remotely. Sometimes, I'm a good way away. If I'm rigging another piece from the same height, I just rig it midline, rather than advancing the rope all the way to the end, unnecessarily. With the BS's symmetry, you can do that.

Interesting to see this old thread...started in 2010 after I'd been using the BS for a few years.
Then I read down to a post where I said something about not being able to capitalize on the idea I shared

LoL... it's their cart software. They just put a ridiculous price on stuff when it's out of stock, so people won't put it in their shopping cart and then whine that they didn't know it was out of stock.

I spotted mine the other day.
I saw the BS mentioned in the trolley thread.
There is a BS for $100 on ebay right now.

I tried finding the one on ebay.
Shoutout to Moray post #102 for spotting the concept "tension ratio" which I also arrived at after doing almost exactly the same testing - him maple me fir. ratio 2.0:1 DRT 180 deg turn rings a bell. Have to look it up - old feeble brain syndrome
